The People's Republic of Pradovnia is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by The Dear Leader with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, compulsory military service, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic, humorless population of 8.113 billion Pradovnians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vaflograd. The average income tax rate is 99.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Pradovnian economy, worth a remarkable 1,757 trillion Pradloks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Tourism. Average income is an amazing 216,651 Pradloks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Life-saving resuscitation is denied based on decades-old teenage diaries that declare "I want to die before I get old", police officers have been re-kitted with designer uniforms and gold-plated handcuffs, solid-gold toilets are Pradovnian prisons' least expensive furnishings, and it is mandatory to learn evolution in schools. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pradovnia's national animal is the Owl, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Pradovnia is ranked 90,834^th in the world and 4,534^th in The North Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 209.17 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
